Game Starter shaped well on debut in an ordinary Redcar maiden last November and an absence is rarely a concern with Godolphin inmates - the son of Dubawi should certainly be in the shake-up on his return. Wannabe Like You makes a belated first appearance for the Haggas team and the market should reflect his chance but MAFAAHEEM is the choice. The Shamardal colt is progressing nicely with racing and performances here and in a Sandown maiden this term set a decent standard. Mulsanne Chase shaped well last time and could challenge for a place.
